Windy Beach (a Haiku)

A salty breeze whips
my tresses back as I watch
the cascading waves.

Voice

If only
I could share

My next piece
of good news

With you, all
the waiting

Finally
concluding,

So I can
start the next

Chapter of
my story.

If only
I could tell

You, calling
one more time,

So I can
hear your voice.

in white, as puffy clouds mark
the late summer sky.

Pictures

I look at the pictures
of us when I was young,

Your smile so wide
as I sit next to you;

Photos of me tossing
balls in the basket

You fastened to the gate,
so we can pass the time

during hot summer days.

The years are filled with us
sharing, laughing,

Your grandchildren standing
proudly with you

At different stages of
our lives, these moments

stretching on forever.

We know your thread
will not last forever,

Yet we do all we can
to preserve it.

Doubt

There is always
so much to think about,

Yet this time, I must do
what needs to get done

In order to better
my well-being.

Doubt is the
constant tension

Nagging, pushing at the
back of my head.

When will the fear subside,
so that I may live?

One Week Away

These few days leading
up to Mother's Day

Are usually approached
with trepidation,

Memories of her love
now takes the place

Of phone calls and visits,
still painful many years later.

Even knowing
that she is never far

Still brings sadness,
since our thread

Of communication
is silent.

waiting for my hand to
be in its best condition to
create.

Conflict

myself feeling
conflicted between my
duties at work, and achieving
my dreams.

Blocked

Writing
has come to a
standstill, mind blocked, and I
panic, not knowing why I am
hindered.

Tempered

My love
for reading is
still present, yet tempered
in recent weeks, due to sudden
stesses.

Morning

Today
I sit at the
kitchen table with my
coffee, reflecting on these past
events.

Diving
into classic
retellings of fairy
tales and features, exploring the
good books.
